Fate Brings Us Together but Destiny Brings Us Apart

==============-- Prologue --==============

In the early morning, the sun is rising, the bird is singing... a tall figure stands in front of his cafe shop, ignoring the cold weather, taking a deep breath of this fresh air and smiling to the morning sun. He is wearing cafe uniform in white long sleeves shirt with simple black vest and black trousers. His short brown hair was combed neatly, ready to operate his business. Footsteps were printed on the white snow road as he walked inside to set up his cafe shop, no one can guess he is a cripple just by looking at his appearance. His right leg was broken by an incident... seven years ago...

"Morning, boss!" an energetic young lad greeted from behind.

He simply nodded and went to the kitchen, preparing all the ingredients and setting up the utensils, glasses, cups and plates carefully while the young lad is doing his work on setting up the tables and chairs. Hearing the slight sound of wind bell moving, he went to the front door to greet his customer. For his surprise, the customer is a five years old boy.

"Ohayou! My little customer" greeted the young lad, "What can I do for you?"

"White coffee!" said the little boy as he climbed to the chair in front of the counter.

"Already drink coffee in this age?" asked the young lad, "Do you want a hot milk instead?"

The boy jumped off the chair and kicked that young lad's leg, "Don't you hear me? I said white coffee!"

"Ouchh..." The young lad kneel down and rub his leg. "You little brat..." He sent a glare to the boy.

"What happened, Kuu?" asked the boss as he walked out from kitchen.

"He kicked me!!" the young lad named Kuu complained.

"Nice kick, boy" said the boss and Kuu narrowing his eyes on him. The charming boss walked to the boy and lifted him up to the chair, slightly pats his head.

"You are... cripple?" asked the boy and the boss simply nodded with a gentle smile on his face.

The moment when Kuu looked at them, somehow they look really resemble each other. That short dark hair has the similar style as his boss’ and that kind of arrogant aura represents his boss appearance but those two innocent black orbs were calming if you looked at them. Kuu keeps mumbling at the two of them while making white coffee. Two minutes later, Kuu walked to them with white coffee ready in his hands.

"Here's your white coffee, kid"

The boy picked up the cup and took a slip, "Heck! This is awful!"

"What?!" Kuu almost shouted at the boy. He clenched his fist and keep calm.

The boss glared at Kuu and took a slip, there's nothing wrong with the coffee. "Can you tell me why you don't like this taste?"

"This is better" the boy took out a bottle with a bit coffee left in it, "I want to fill it but the coffee he made is awful"

"Let me taste it for a bit" said the boss as he taste the coffee. His eyes widen when the coffee smoothly running on the tongue and went through his throat. It's been a long time since he had this taste. He's been longing for this scent, the taste he used to have every morning.

Another sounds of the wind bell revealed a couple walking into the cafe. A gorgeous looking woman with a handsome man walking beside her. The man is shorter than the woman, he is showing his deep dimples and calling the boy's name.

"Maru" He waved to the boy, signaling him to come over.

"Mommy! Papa!" The boy ran to the man he called papa.

"Ma...ri...o...?!" said the gorgeous lady when her eyes met the boss.

"Boss, you know her?" asked Kuu, looking at her stunned boss.

"Haruna, Yuu..." said the boss - Mario with emotionless face, "So, he is your son... Maru, nice name" Mario tried to fake a smile. He turned his back on them and walked away, "Take care of the quests, Kuu. I need to clean the kitchen"

"Please have a seat this way" Kuu guided those quests to have a seat and served them.

-------------------While inside the kitchen, Mario clenched his fists, trying to control all the emotion inside him but still… the tears were falling down on his face.

Fate Brings Us Together but Destiny Brings Us Apart

CHAPTER ONE

============== ================ ================

My name is Shinoda Mario, the famous model in Japan. I have career, house, and a beautiful wife. I live the happiest life ever with luxury and beauty wife accompany me everyday. Not until one day... an accident happened and got my right leg broken. I've became a cripple... no jobs and no life.. Spending my time in hospital for two months as useless man. Everyone neglecting me, one by one went out of my life. Friends, co-workers, relatives, all of them be around me just for money... My wife is the only one who willingly to take care of me. She works as a hostess in night club to earn living fee. I am just an useless man staying at home and do nothing. I can do nothing but drinking. I've became a drunk since then... all the money she earned, I spend it all to buy this stupid drink...

======================Two years after the accident

"Ughh..." Mario woke up holding his head, the diziness is killing him.

"Are you okay?" Her wife sat beside him and handed him a cup of white coffee. Special white coffee made by her precious wife.

"Thanks" said Mario while taking the coffee. Then he spotted a bruise on his wife's arm, he lifted his head and found a wound on her wife's cheek. He shocked and dropped the coffee. The hot coffee spilled on his right leg.

"Oh no..." His wife panicked and tried to wipe off the hot coffee from his leg but Mario stopped her.

"It's okay, I feel nothing" Mario said with cold expression.

"It's hot" Haruna ignored him and took tissue to wipe off the coffee but Mariko pulled her arm and pushed her away. Haruna trippled and fell to the ground, her shoulder bumped on the edge of table desk beside her. She bite her lips and bear the pain.

"Haruna..." Mario moved toward his wife and hugged his wife, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it"

Mario pulled back and touched the bruise on Haruna's face, "Did I hit you again?"

Haruna simply smiled and shook her head, "No, I was careless and fell down" She withdrew herself and support her husband to bed, "You stay here, I go to bring your breakfast"

Before Haruna walked away, Mario held her wrist, "You don't need to bring it here, I can go to dining room"

"I want to spoil you" said Haruna as she pinched Mario's nose and placed a kiss on his forehead.

===============Akiba Night Club

"What can I help you, mister?"

When the night come, Haruna has to go working at the night club as hostess. She is wearing red color tight dress, ended above knees and bringing a note in her hands. Due to her husband condition, she has no choice but to work as hostess in Akiba night club, because the tips she gets there were known with big amount. She only do table service like taking drink order and fill up the drink. Sometimes, there're these troublesome clients who like to harassing hostesses, especially Haruna.

"Nice body~" said one of the client as he slapped Haruna's butt.

Haruna was surprised and accidentally spilled the drink on client's shirt. "I'm sorry, I'll go get dry towel for you" Haruna apologized immediately but the client didn't get easy on her.

The client gets mad and pulled Haruna's wrist, pushed her to the couch. He trapped Haruna between him and the couch, leaning forward dangerously, "Why don't you have some fun with us, huh?"

This man and his friends were laughing in the VIP room. Haruna kicked the man away and hurriedly ran to the door but she got pulled back into the room once again. Haruna cried for help, wishing that someone could get in and rescue her. Four man were in the room pinned Haruna down on the floor. She keeps struggling to free herself but those men were more stronger than her. Tears flowing from her eyes when one of them ripped her collar, revealing her smooth skin.

"Mario..." Haruna whispered inside her heart, wishing her husband could be here and save her.

"What are you doing there!!" a man rushed into the room and pulled those clients away from Haruna. "Four men bullying a girl? You disgraced man's pride" This person took off his coat and put it on Haruna, help her to stand up.

"None of your business! Guys, get him!!"

Four of the clients launched attack on this man when he is helping Haruna to stand up. Without looking to his back, he launched a kick and sent one of the clients to the ground. He smiled at Haruna and told her to move back while he cleans those bastard. Two clients attack from sides, this man bend down and caused two of them hitting each other's face, down to the ground. The last client took out a pocketknife and rushed to the man from behind.

"Look out!" Haruna cried as she saw the knife.

The man managed to dodge in time but still not so fast to avoid the knife. His left arms got scratched by the knife, forming a tiny red line on it. He gave that bastard an upper cut and hit right on his chin, sending him unconscious to the ground. Haruna was amazed by his strenght, though he is short and tiny. He managed to knocked down four men who are taller and bigger than him.

"Are you okay, Harunyan?" asked the man as he walked toward Haruna.

"I'm fine, thank you" Haruna bowed to this man and then she realized there's something wrong, why did he called her Harunyan? She straighten herself and tilted head, "Harunyan?"

Haruna narrowed her eyes and took a good look on this man. The man smiled, showing his deep dimples, waiting for Haruna's answer. Holding her chin, Haruna closed her eyes to process her memories. After a minute, she opened her eyes and hugged this man with big bear hug, jumping around happily.

"Yuu-chan!! You are Yuu-chan, right?"

"I'm so glad you still remember me, Harunyan" Yuu hugged back. "We haven't seen each other after graduated from high school, what are you doing here?"

Haruna withdrew herself with a sad smile, "I'm working here, as hostess"

"You work here? The last information I got is you and Mario were married? Why are you working here?"

Before Haruna can answer, the night club manager came into the room and saw four clients were lying on the floor unconscious. Without knowing things, she walked to Haruna and scold her, "Oh my, what happened here? Stop creating trouble for me!!"

Yuu pissed and took out a stack of cash, "From now on, she serves only me. Is it enough?" He threw it on the manager's face.

"Enough... enough..." answered the manager as her eyes were sticked on the money in her hands, "But..." she smiled cunningly, "Oshima-san, this will only last for a week"

"I'll pay again next week" Yuu held Haruna's hand and walked out from the room.

"Yuu, you don't have to-"

Yuu paused and turned to face Haruna, still holding her hand, "Haruna, quit this job. I'm curently looking for a secretary, would you like to help me? I'll pay double for you"

"Yuu-chan, I... I..."

"I can't stand to see you work in a place like this. Come with me, okay?"

"Take off your hands from my woman!!" A tall figure pulled Yuu's hand from Haruna and pushed him to the wall, punched his face.

"Mario!!" Haruna yelled and stopped Mario from beating Yuu more further. "Mario, stop!! He is Yuu, our friend from high school!!"

Mario stopped and glared at the person Haruna called friend. He pissed and pulled Haruna for a kiss, a deep kiss in front of Yuu. After the kiss, Mario smirked at Yuu then gently held Haruna's hand, "I bought curry and came to pick you, let's go home"

Yuu sighed looking that couple walked away. Edge of his lips were bleeding due the attack from Mario. He surely didn't hold back when he hit Yuu. Maybe Mario don't remember Yuu but he remembers Mario, once the charming prince in high school and the famous model in Japan. Yuu almost can't recognize the current Mario, his charming aura was gone, his hair and face was messy with whiskers and mustache. The worse... he becomes cripple...

"Haruna..." Sadness fill in Yuu's eyes when he imagined how hard life is for Haruna.
